I have a few old photos of my Smith's, but would love to see old photos of
places in Adams Co. stores, cemeteries, courthouse, old farms - besides
about half of the county's early people being relatives one way or another,
I'm in WY and may never get to visit the area. Having so many "cousins" in
this area, would be wonderful to see what some of them looked like. There
are a number of counties adding photos, saw one with well over 2,000!

Would anyone be able to help me with tracing my Edward and Mary Ann Canter family, who lived in Powers Station in 1904? I don't know exactly how long they lived there. I don't even know if city directories are available for Powers Station. Any assistance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Karin,
I have four children listed for John Thatcher and Margaret Peggy Troutner:
1. Elizabeth Thatcher m. 1853, Van Wert Co, OH, Frederick S. Roop (2
daughters)
2. John (spouse unknown)
3. Margaret Ann m. 1859, Van Wert Co, OH, the same Frederick S. Roop (9
children)
4. James W. (b. c1848) -- possible husband of Isellelle Ruby (brother of
John) The ages match
Margaret Roop Ruby's brother, John Roop, m. Elizabeth Ruby, d/o Thomas H.
and Mary Ruby. I can't find the connection between these two Ruby famil
John Ruby m. Margaret Elizabeth Roop (1825-1911), d/o Jacob and Nancy
(Lewis) Roop. Margaret lived and died in Adams Co, IN, but I can't find a
thing about John. I have another Ruby family (see below), but I can't
connect them to John. Does anyone have any information about John and
Margaret? I would love to know if they had children, who John's
parents/siblings were, when/where he was born and died, etc. How does he
connect to the other Ruby family?
Descendants of Thomas H. Ruby
1 Thomas H. Ruby
Tobias Ritter m. Susannah Roop (1832-1916), d/o Jacob and Nancy (Lewis)
Roop. Tobias and Susannah are listed in the 1850 census of Adams Co, and
Susannah is buried in the Maplewood/Decatur Cem. They had 5 children:
Eliza Jane, John Samuel, David Earl and Nathaniel. What happened to Tobias
and the children? Does anyone have information on this family?

All,
I have recently had access to some old pictures from Adams Co. Schools
and miscellaneous (thanks to the generosity of Dick Heller and old photos
from my grandmother's estate, Edna Neukom Peterson). I am scanning and
digitilizing them and would be glad to share them with others. Many have no
identifications and I know have some relatives in them but I can not identify.
Is there any interest in the group doing some detective work on old
school photos (some very old 1890's) and possibly f
In 1913, Rev. Vernon Roop, an evangelist living in Wren, OH, conceived the idea of a Roop Reunion. According to newspaper accounts, at least 14 reunions were held and were well attended. Most were held in Adams Co, IN (Steele Park). Rev. Roop was an president of the organization for most of that time. In 1917, Rev. Roop was living in Dayton. I am trying to locate his descendants or anyone who might information about these reunions. He was the s/o James M. & Marietta (Price) Roop. James was s/o Samue

Karin,
Below is what I have so far on this family: Marcia is a descendant of Mary

Greetings
I will gladly try to identify any that I may recognize...
There are probably some Wittwer faces in Edna's
that I may recognize. I also have some old
unidentifiable photos from the
John David Wittwer-Mary Ryf
+ (Beer and Richards) estate
that need identifying...
Maybe we can get an Adams County site
that we all can upload photos to...there are many
free sites available for "families" to do that now...

I can't answer too many of your William Dickey/Susannah Roop questions, but
I do have in my notes that they moved back to Van Wert Co by the 1870
census.
I don't see her in my Van Wert cemetery books # IV and V. Perhaps someone
can check the others for you.
Pie-plant??? That's garden rhubarb according to Webster.

In addition to the children you mentioned for William Lingenfelt & wife
Elizabeth Roop, I have a Mary Jane b. 1829 PA married James S. Pillars on
Oct 10, 1845. They had a daughter Mary Jane Pillars born July 22, 1858.

My great-grandfather was Edward Wilson Hower, b. July
4, 1989 somewhere in Indiana. His family lived in the
Decatur area, but when I was down there last Spring,
his birth certificate was not found in the Adams
county records. But I know he lived in Decatur
because he was listed in the 1900 census living with
his family (Alva Curtis Hower and Viola Barnett, and
older sister Ruth), and in the 1910 census living with
a Tumbleson family.
Anyway, the point of my posting is that I need help
locating any record
